  • For "normal" games you could look yourself using ProtonDB regarding every game released on Steam and AreWeAntiCheatYet for most multiplayer games. If a game isn't available on Steam you have three possibilities. First if it's available on GOG, Epic Games or Amazon Gaming, you could use the Heroic Games Launcher. Second you could try to run the launchers through Steam itself using once again Proton. Third you could try installing it with a script or tutorial in Lutris or Bottles.

    OCI base images of Fedora with batteries included (by ublue-os)

  • If you're using Nvidia I'd recommend using Fedora Kinoite with the ublue-Nvidia image that comes with the Nvidia drivers pre-built in. That eliminates a big chunk of issues with their drivers which is just building the damn things. AMD and Intel drivers are built into the kernel and require zero effort.
